March 27th, 2009 Worthwhile Reading for Founders and Pitching |
Over the course of this week I’ve come across some great articles and blog posts that should be required reading for any entrepreneur looking for funding—including those that have done it before. Starting with The Entrepreneurs Report from the law firm Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati (WSGR) there are two articles from outside contributors on Perfecting Your Pitch and How Do I Get Meetings with Investors. For the first piece you can pretty much substitute ‘Angel’ for ‘VC’ and it’s right on the money with respect to the Pasadena Angels. One word of caution, however, when reading the WSGR report, try not to dwell on the VC financing trends. The good news in all this is that although Angel and VC financings are down, there are still good companies getting funded as we speak.
A couple of other good posts/videos that I’d highly recommend are Tony Tjan’s the Great Entrepreneur’s Secret and 10 Things to Know Before You Pitch a VC for Money by David Rose which do a good job of covering the intangibles we look for in entrepreneurs and pitches.
